Tucked in among the general population are people who posses abilities. Sometimes these abilities seem trivial, but cause a fair amount of trauma in their personal lives. These abilities often have stipulations, such as a restricted diet or complete inability to complete tasks that the average human would be able to easily fulfill. When these people just so happen to meet each other it tends to be violent for one reason or another. Normally these people are quite spread out, since they are so rare, but in one city there is a concentration. And in this city, confrontations are common. This is often credited to a certain group who claim to over see the city's gifted population, being gifted themselves. This regulation can be helpful, but most of the time it only causes issues for those out of the group. Upon first glance, every single one of these gifted individuals seem to be normal people, but upon further inspection one will see that there is quite a bit that lies beneath the surface of things.

RULES
1.) Keep it PG-13
2.) Gore descriptions are more than welcome, but keep swearing to a minimum
3.) andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s rules
4.) Ships are allowed, but if things get serious take it to PM
5.) DO NOT make fun of/chastise the characters of others. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY
6.) Do not post one liners, try to keep things as descriptive as you can. I can understand short posts, but one liners are a bit lazy.
7.) Stay away from OP characteristics, I will tell you if I want you to change something and I will give a reason. I will NOT EVER tell you to change something just because I don't like it.
Additions to this list will (probably) be made, keep an eye out.

@ElderGod-Carrots

Name: Kaitlin Towers
Age: 16
Gender: female
Sexuality: uh… questioning
Personality: on first meeting her she is a shy, introverted person, kinda like a little kid who has just been introduced to a new person if you know what I mean but really she's a fun loving, bubbly person who has a bit of an attitude that comes out very rarely and when I mean rarely, I mean it. Independent most of the time but knows when she needs to ask for help.
Appearance: ginger hair that flows down to her breasts, usually worn half up or braided half up, brig bright blue eyes, very pale and has many freckles all over her face and body, has a pink flush to her cheeks.
Magic abilities: Umbrakinesis - darkness manipulation
Likes: reading, drawing, writing, quite places, libraries and small cafes, tea, hot chocolate
Dislikes: loud noises, crowded places, driving
Greatest fear: her brother leaving her
Background: fairly decent family life up until she was around six when her dad started to get high and drink most nights. This led to the abuse of her mother and older brother, Sam, and eventually her mother was killed in a car accident. her brother receives most of the abuse but Kaitlin does as well. Sam is like her best friend and the always stick together no matter what.
Affliction with Nest: doesn’t have a major role, usually helps on stealth missions as shadow manipulation is a good cover for those sorta things
Other: she wears glasses for reading and close up activities.

(That okay? Need me to add or change anything?)

Information on The Group;
"The Group" has yet to be officially named, however, those who know of it call it "Nest". The members of Nest are often those who are gifted and have lost their families. These members tend to be a bit violent, launching attacks on certain centers that aid in the capturing of gifted individuals. Some, however, only join because they wish to make the lives of their enemies as miserable as they possibly can. Nest's leader is an individual who stays in the background, giving orders to their followers. Despite having a leader, Nest is quite unorganized, seeing as their leader is also decently chaotic in the aspect of keeping things together. It is rumored that Nest's leader can change their physical form, therefore most of the members behave themselves during missions seeing as they have little to no idea what the leader looks like.

@KoffeeOwl

Name: Sariel Chaucer
Age: 20
Gender/Sex: Female, biologically and mentally
Ability(s): Sariel has the ability to sprout hardened appendages, such as horns. When she does this there is typically a spotty black pattern that covers the bridge of her nose and just under her eyes. In the case of extreme danger, Sariel can extend the appendages to cover certain parts of her body. She can often be seen wearing a white shirt, black cropped jacket, a plaid scarf, and skinny jeans.

Appearance: Sariel has bobbed light blonde hair that is just above her shoulders. Her eyes are a muddy combination of blue and green and her skin is fair in tone. Upon using her abilities, Sariel's horns and such are a very dark purple (almost black in tone).

Personality towards strangers: Sariel is a seemingly kind and laid back person, and people often find her easy to speak to because of the way she looks and acts. Many people have even told her before that she seems more approachable because of her some what sloppy appearance.

Personality towards friends and family: Sariel is a bit more talkative towards her friends and family, seeing as she (obviously) knows them better than the general public. She doesn't have many friends and her family is limited because of violence within the community.

Things to Note: While Sariel may be kind to her family and friends, and often the people she meets in public she has a bit of a sadistic side. This may be from working with Nest, and being exposed to extreme violence, but no one (including Sariel) is quite sure. She has found that in times of fighting she gets a bit of a kick out of watching her enemies suffer and has been known to lose control of her powers. Fortunately this doesn't happen very often.

Affiliation with Nest (Read my post on it in this thread): Sariel plays a key role in the workings of Nest, and is a relatively important member.

History (optional, but preferred): TBA
